(Intro)

You know

I’ve been through a lot the last 10 years

And you know what, I made it out, yeah

So it would seem, I don’t really have anything to prove

Hah, Yeah I do

(Verse 1)

I’m not one shy away from my shots

Of course it took time to be able to, take the shot

Too many early morning and late nights, to fucking count

Out of all the rounds, this is my chance to the top

All the doubters who try to keep me down

My supporters that keep me up

I look at all of them and I’m like, come along

A mans strength is defined by lifting others up

This road is not an easy one, a long one no doubt

I’ve failed before to break through that wall

Today’s the day I make the break through, I’ve been working so hard

With god by my side, I’ve got the world in my palms

No mother fucker is ever gonna stop me now, ya

Not many people get this opportunity and see it through

I will make sure I’m the one of the very few to make it through

And prove I deserve the bar, I set my standard to

Doing this for me, not for you

Bitch, I’ve got soo much to prove

Cause...

(Hook)

All my life

All my life

They try to keep me down

But I just get Higher

(Verse 2)

Every time I write a rhyme

Delivery needs perfection like a dime

To get what I want, I’ve gotta climb

Each line’s Devine, I ensure that every rhyme, is a rhyme that I write

I’m in a constant fight to show you all my fucking might

I always try to out do what’ve I’ve done

Keep the bar high

My eyes to the sky, once I get my wings, I’m gonna fly

My actions cause a misdemeanour

I’m so keen on being the best in my league

Open opportunities, fuck the opinion in society

As god as my withness, I’ve come through stronger

From moments of weakness

To the moments of sweetness

I’ve been through the fucking worst, and I’ve come back fearless

I step in to rooms now, and everyone’s speechless

After all the stumbles and falls

I’m so proud of all the progress I’ve made so far

This is only the start, come on, bring it on

I’m fire Marshall when he sets the bar

Be ready cause I won’t stop Till I collapse on this song

(Hook)

All my life

All my life

They try to keep me down

But I just get Higher
